Thanks for all the input. I am enjoying this interesting discussion.

I do see babysitting as a bit different. On one hand, there is no manager scheduling you, but on the other hand, you are at the mercy of people asking you to babysit, and you don't know when the next job will come. And, if you say no, you might not get asked again. DD is trying to get regular clientele nd be their "go-to" sitter. This is one of those families.

I do not think she has discussed her financial goals with these girls. I think she has with one of the other girls that were invited over, but not the hosts.

Also, it is not like it is one or two days notice. She would be giving the hosting girls a week's notice. It was not a birthday or anything. The mom just said in her email that she wanted to give her girls fellowship opportunities more often. The girls are not allowed participate in any of the churches student or youth group activities, so they try to invite people over.
